ZF presented innovative technology portfolio in Shanghai to Chinese auto OEMs, ET Auto
The technology company ZF presented its innovative technology portfolio to more than 600 representatives from around 40 Chinese automobile manufacturers at its “Next Generation Mobility Days” customer event in Shanghai. During driving demonstrations and technical discussions, customers were able to find out about the latest solutions for electromobility, automated driving, passive safety and connected chassis technology for software-defined vehicles. Highlights at the Formula 1 race track in Shanghai included the first presentation of the purely electromechanical brake system ‘Dry Brake-by-Wire’ as well as Chinese premieres of the electrically powered concept vehicle EVbeat and the magnet-free electric motor I2 SM.“The future of mobility is rapidly changing towards electrically powered, automated and software-defined vehicles,” said Stephan von Schuckmann, member of the ZF Board of Management. “In China, the largest and most dynamic automotive market in the world, we will continue to invest and grow together with our Chinese customers in China and worldwide – at ‘China speed’. We therefore see significant potential to increase our market share in China and the Chinese market’s current share of our global sales, which currently stands at a good 17%.”
The new electromechanical brake system, also known as ‘dry’ brake-by[1]wire, was presented to the public for the first time worldwide in Shanghai. This type of brake system no longer requires any brake fluid, so the brake pressure is no longer generated by the pressure of fluids in the hydraulic system, but by electric motors. The brake signals from the pedal to the electric motor are also transmitted purely electrically. Compared to conventional brake systems, the new brake-by-wire system, just like the already introduced Integrated Brake Control (IBC), enables shorter braking distances, better recovery of braking energy and lower maintenance costs.
The innovative brake system for software-defined vehicles was developed in a network of ZF development centers in China, the USA and Germany.
